Get Ready For Your Next Ultra Marathon

Running a marathon can sometimes take a hell of a lot of work, training and determination especially on the 2019 TARAWERA ULTRAMARATHON

On the plus side, runners can experience amazing landscapes and the beauty of a country. An ultra-distance run between Rotorua and Tauranga, the runners run around the track anti-clockwise and tackle some pretty hairy terrains such as the Ridge Dome, Whakapoungakau and Tuhoto Ariki near Rotorua. The ultramarathon sends runners through untouched bush – places that have great cultural heritage to the local communities. 2000 participants are scheduled to compete, with runners receiving a beautiful wooden medal at the finish-line or pounamu pendant for the 100-mile finishers. Runners can tackle the ultramarathon at the different 20, 50, 102 or 160km distances.

The race will be on at 6-10 February next year and can be entered online at https://www.taraweraultra.co.nz/enter/
